Heading back to the States after a busy jam packed trip. I met with friends & colleagues (old and new).
When I spend time here, I always feel so grateful for the friends I've made here over the years. Makes me feel so lucky.
To top it off, I coincidentally walked past Hideaki Anno on my way to a breakfast meeting this morning.. 😱
I made a post on my YouTube channel about my animation being discontinued due to lack of time needed and the responses, while well meaning, are like, "you should make an entirely new series and promote it so you can get support!" and like... the whole point is I have no time lol
Got my Certificate of Completion of This is Animation program @SonyAnimation & @imageworksvfx , and @YellowbrickLrn Thank you for such a fantastic program because learned some main ingredients!
They’re still accepting enrollments at: yellowbrick.co/sony
I've been thinking about how gas clouds seem to just hang in space, like the stunning Crystal Ball Nebula image released this month.
That led me to wonder, what if we placed a translucent dust cloud in space between Earth and the Sun?
It could gently lower Earth's temperature, reversing global warming in a controlled, adjustable, and fully reversible way.
Where would we get the cloud?
The Moon’s surface is covered in reflective regolith. We could use solar-powered rail guns to launch projectiles from the Moon to the ideal spot between the Sun and Earth, then release the dust in streams.
AI validated the physics, robots could mine the regolith, and the projectile math checks out.
The dust naturally dissipates over time in space, so if we ever wanted to stop, we would just stop replenishing it. No permanent side effects.
I thought this sounded like a cool sci-fi movie idea, then ChatGPT pointed me to this MIT study:
journals.plos.org/climate/articl…
Is this actually possible???
